Build Your Own Container With Go


Details
Everyone has heard of Docker, but what is a container? Is it really "a lightweight VM"? In this talk, with Jack Spirou as our guide, we'll dispel the magic by writing a container in about 100 lines of Go. We will explore how to create a simple linux container in golang. The idea of this exercise is to understand how to use simple linux primitives to build a simple container of your own. Please note - This exercise was the original idea of Julian Friedman, and was then popularized by Liz Rice.
